If I Had A Shop, It Would Be Retro #Blaugust

Daily writing prompt
If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?

I love retro and nerdy things so I think I would open a shop where you could buy vintage tech, media, clothing, and collectibles. Also, that shop would be where you could get retro treats like soda, candy, snacks, etc. As my generation gets older, having things that remind us of our childhood would be comforting. Newer generations might appreciate antiques from the times of the generations that came before. Just imagine the things that you would find in a store like that.

You Are Enough

We don’t need more of you. I thought this was funny and snarky.

The Wheels On The Bus Go Round, School Begins #Blaugust

The school busses were out and running this morning, a sign of students returning to the classroom. On Facebook, I have seen many of my friend’s children in their first-day-of-class pictures. Back in my day the kids used to go back after Labor Day (in America). Now they go back in early August. I am hoping those kids will have a great year in the classroom and beyond. May they also be safe and secure. Let’s hope the lessons they learn this year will make the world a better place for themselves and for everyone. Do a good job kids.
